Roman wall of Emona, Ljubljana. Left, the survey point cloud (11.4 million points at 2 cm, University of Ljubljana, 2023); right, the HBIM model in IFC built on it, from the same camera. Drag to compare. The pins are model elements with linked data: mortar samples, ground-penetrating radar and test pits, each with its documents and figures.

Three ways to work with us

From the first survey to reviewing a delivery and keeping building records up to date. Start with the work your project needs.

01 / Core service

Scan-to-BIM for refurbishment and heritage

For survey firms, architectural practices and building owners.

We turn your point cloud into a working base for design. Where capture is needed, we arrange the survey with our partners or capture the building through photogrammetry.

What you receive

  • Structured IFC model with an agreed level of detail and information.
  • Plans, sections and elevations specified in the commission.
  • Record of checks, limitations and documentation linked to the model.

What we agree before starting

Intended use, elements to model, represented accuracy, formats, drawings, revisions and schedule.

02

Independent model and delivery review

For architects, building owners and BIM coordinators.

We review a BIM delivery against agreed requirements and identify what needs correcting before acceptance.

What you receive

  • Report of checks and exceptions tied to the reviewed version.
  • Issue list with supporting evidence and correction priorities.
  • Reasoned recommendation on suitability for the intended use.

What we agree before starting

Models and documents, information requirements, applicable geometric checks and review rounds. The client makes the acceptance decision.

03

Heritage documentation and periodic updates

For heritage owners and conservation teams.

We organise building records and link photographs, observations and interventions to the model. Together, we define the updates your conservation work needs.

What you receive

  • Model or documentary record with identified sources and dates.
  • Observations and interventions linked to building elements.
  • Comparison between survey campaigns and updated records within the agreed scope.

What we agree before starting

Available records, elements to follow, capture needs and update frequency. We start with one building and a defined scope.
